[QUOTE=jennie285;20114]anyother piece of advice is take pictures of anything that will prove it was or is a sandman later like blackouts, or original stripes. etc. (sorry can't remember if yours is a sandman or not)[COLOR="Silver"]


It is a Sandman As soon as I get my camera back i'll start with the photos. It doesn't have the original stripes but I did find remnants of the original stripes under the Falcon fuel cap and inside the doors and gaurds. Also has all the blackouts. Unfortunately The only old photos I have of it complete and running were on a film camera, but it's never too late to take more.

This will tell you the ADR and VIN plates belong together.
I've studdied the back of the plate but I can't find an engraving... Not to say it isn't there, there is a bit of build up here and there, but if the engraving is relatively prominent in an area with no stamping, I think it's a no go :(
